Millionaires for McCrory

Submitted by gregflynn on Mon, 09/08/2008 - 9:13am.

Wealthy Republican donors have been lining up to contribute to an ad campaign for Pat McCrory in amounts far in excess of normal $4,000 contribution limits and it's all perfectly legal. Last week the Republican Governor's Association reported spending on an anti-Perdue ad and reported contributions to the RGA NC 2008 PAC of $616,500 from 23 wealthy donors, an average contribution of $26,804 per person.

We've had a couple of SNAFUs with the upgrade. That's to be expected. Thank you for hanging in there with us.

Ratings Chart: 2008 Senate Races

CQPolitics.com’s first roundup of the 2008 Senate races — with earliest-ever Election Forecaster ratings by the CQPolitics staff — is based on this increasingly irrefutable principle: the concept of the “off-election” year is now an anachronism for Senate incumbents and candidates.

National Rankings

Submitted by TarGator on Sun, 01/28/2007 - 8:59am.

As Matt Stoller said yesterday, national rankings can become a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy as it helps determine who enters the race and how it is funded. But it is good that that dynamic is working in our favor; no matter how much we may dislike the stream, it is always easier to go with it than against it.

Once upon a time

I asked a couple of long-time DC insiders whether Dole would run again. They were split . . . one said for sure, one said probably not.

I then asked what we should do to influence things. They were not split at all: They said somebody (I take that to mean BlueNC) should spend the next 18 months shining the bright light of truth on Dole's performance.

That's my plan because I believe she will wilt under than scrutiny. And whether she runs or not, she will be weakened and defensive. And lord knows, she has a lot to be defensive about.
